Those little upholstery tacks are trickier to install then I initially thought. I'll be patient just this once being that this is my first ever attempt. Let's just say that if it all works out then for sure we have the power of magic unicorns on our side..love it when that happens.

Upholstering a cheap piece of furniture on the other hand luckily was so much easier. I will give you the easy run down when I am finished.

I know they make upholstery tack strips but of course I had to have the ones that coned out a little more and looked a little bit edgier.

There are so many ideas out there on how to make cool designs using tacks...I am not saying you should go and try to tack everything you see now but there are certainly some fun things out there to inspire.

I have never used nailhead trim yet (although my brother and I once spraypainted about 300 brass thumbtacks to make a 'nailhead' trimmed headboard of him!). I have a very cheap little square white table sitting at home that I have plans to outline in nailheads. Can't wait to see how my patience goes with that project! :)

Looking pretty darn good so far! And totally agree with the fiddly side of using nailhead..I have a huge bunch that I plan to use...but just haven't decided "what" exactly Im going to hammer away at just yet.Loving all these examples...just awesome! Have a great weekend lovely x

It's looking so good so far! The trim on that door....amazing! I tried nailhead trim on a design on our wall, it sort of worked out. Here is the link to it if you want to check it out....http://aplaceandaspace.blogspot.com/2011/08/400-holes-in-wall.html

The title Full House pretty much sums up my life. If you've ever played with dice or the game Yahtzee then possibly you've rolled a Full House. As luck would have it in the game of life I rolled out twin girls and triplet boys. What am I doing blogging...I should be in Vegas winning money for diapers. If I really hit the jackpot I'd hire Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse to move in and help out.
Oh and I like to associate life's happenings with home decor. I like parties & to fit in a craft every once in a while.
